TripIt Invites are Misleading
Recently I created an account on Tripit.com. I usually don’t do this, but I decided to invite a few friends through the interface they provide. Why not get our social network on, web 2.0 style, I thought.
I found out today that that invites sent out contain a link that automatically creates an account when it’s clicked. It’s not a horrible idea, if done properly. For starters, it should be clearly labeled in the email, as to what you’re about to do. The Tripit.com email decides to do the opposite & disguise it a bit by saying “View invitation from Bill Keller by following this link…”

King Corn
In “King Corn” two filmmakers grow an acre of corn in Iowa and follow where & how it gets used in our food chain. It turns out, our bodies are mainly corn because everything we eat is mainly corn. You likely know a little about corn in our diets, so expand your knowledge with the fine grain corny details this film provides.
It really makes you want to eat grass fed beef only, but god damn, In N Out burger is so good.

Kids Choice Awards
Susan & I weren’t able to attend, but my sister and her fiancee were able to catch Mark looking like Ryan Seacrest and behaving like Joan Rivers. There’s a couple more snapshots on Flickr.
